not your typical doctor
Grew up my whole life thinking I would become a doctor. By the time I finished medical school in Scotland, realized medicine wasn't the path for me so left to pursue a career in healthcare venture capital, a job I wasn't prepared for in an industry I had never heard about. Been doing that and much more the last few years. Find out more on my about page
timeless knowledge
Re-discovered my love of reading after leaving medicine in 2018. Decided I would take notes while learning about different subjects and want to share all that knowledge with the world. Find out more in my 'Library'.

Decided to start posting my thoughts on a blog back in 2021. The goal was to post 100 blog posts in a year. Ended up writing 500. Haven't stopped since then and can find more on 'Blog' page and in my blog database below.
